All I've seen is some comments in the fourth to last message in the thread:

In summary:
- weaker than Chess Genius, but plays respectably against it
- can't be on your Palm at the same time as PocketChess
- always plays 1. Nf3 as White at highest level
- interesting 3D board
- otherwise fewer features than Chess Genius
